Method

Boil the whole potatoes in their skins for 30-40 mins, or until tender (timing depends on their size). Drain and peel off the skins. Put the potatoes back in the pan, cover and gently heat for a min or two.

Remove from the heat and mash the potatoes with the butter until no lumps are left, then heat 100ml whipping cream and 3 tbsp milk together and add that to the potatoes. Beat 2-3 tbsp grainy mustard in and season to taste.

Made this to go with the Balsamic roasted sausages and red veg. Very tasty, though I have to admit I didn't add the cream as I didn't have any. Tasted just as good though.

Dont know why you have to boil in the skins because it burnt my fingers trying to skin em. But after a few ouchs the finished dish was delicious.

Wear washing up gloves to take the skin off, no burnt hands.
I do this when stripping a chicken.

Really loved this - quick and easy and tasted wonderful with sausage and leeks. Definately use this when we next have steak. I also used double the mustard and I used MAILLE Wholegrain which added a slight sweetness.

Yummy, but I used at least twice as much mustard (medium strength) as stated to bring out the flavour.

This is really yummy and was fabulous with Salmon En Croute (Olive Recipe) just the right amount of bite to match the salmon! We finished the leftovers off with Bacon and Peas the next day and it seemed to taste even better in fact I think a poached Egg would have made it perfection!!! I will definitely make this again!!!
